1. it's always strange that The Star never ever prints the names of cars or brands or project name when reporting unlike the other media

2. for the love of god, please buy some decent water heaters for your tenants and install it properly.

3. vengeful ghosts abound??

PETALING JAYA: The Japanese couple who was killed after being electrocuted in their apartment in Mont Kiara left behind a six-month-old baby boy.

The baby now is being taken care of by the Welfare Department.

Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Azlee Abdullah said the baby would be over to the couple’s relatives once they arrive from Japan.

“The family members are scheduled to claim the bodies and take the baby home,” he said yesterday.

He added that police had recorded the statement of the couple’s maid.

“The maid comes to the apartment daily to clean.

“Our investigations suggest no foul play,” he said adding that the Japanese man was a factory manager.

Meanwhile, Selangor Welfare Department director Nik Omar Nik Ab Rahman said the baby was brought to the Rumah Kanak-Kanak Tengku Budriah in Cheras following the tragedy.

“We will cooperate with the police in handing over the baby to the parents’ relatives,” he said.

Meanwhile, five of the victims’ family members arrived at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre’s mortuary yesterday evening to identify their bodies.

The four men and a woman who arrived at 8.20pm were also accompanied by three others, one of whom is believed to be a translator.

They left 30 minutes later after identifying their loved ones.

The bodies of the Japanese couple, both 38, were discovered by the maid who arrived at the 13th floor apartment at about 10am on Monday.

The couple’s apartment is situated at a block where the dismembered body of Singaporean businessman Goh Yoke Seng was discovered in a refrigerator that had been sealed with masking tape in July 2007.

A man who had bought the unit in an auction discovered the body when he went to clean the place located on the 19th floor.

The same apartment block was also the scene of a fire in which the son of a top police officer was killed a few years ago.

The 22-year-old son of former Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Comm Koh Hong Sun died after an explosion at their 32nd floor apartment unit in July 2009.

agree with you especially on the earth one. i have seen many many times how electrical devices are NOT earthed.

and guess what? a LOT of china grade products are without earth wiring when they should be.

but even as what you have mentioned, i'll bet you'll still find landlords there who wouldn't bother wanting to change or upgrade the DB/ELCBs even if it's old. the mentality is a penny saved is a penny earned here in Malaysia.

did i say ALL of the 2 pin sockets should be banned or were you the one who said so? guess whose english + electrical knowledge is the one that is lacking?

to answer your question:

1. cheap lighting and heating products with clear conductive surfaces that uses direct AC without any earth wire. stuffs that could never ever get the approval to sell in EU being dumped into uneducated countries.

2. many many times? ceiling lights and fans. the reason? either the electrician illegally replace with an unearth wire without owner knowledge to save cost or "it's so high, nobody will touch it one lar when in use" excuse

goodness. your brain diarrhea is amazing lol. i see no point continuing with an ignoramous who already made up their mind on being stupid and arrogant. just no point as the world will always, always have its stupids

but here's a tip as i feel compelled to take pity on such people like you: those with an iota of safety knowledge or physics studies and/or electrical/electronic eng will firstly cringe THEN laugh at your statements thus far.
